Once Upon A Dream-Ch 20
When they stopped outside Penelopes room Aaron said, "I'm so sorry about the way prince Sam talked to you", she said, "it isn't your fault Aaron", he said, "no but he's going to have to learn how to respect you Penelope, I won't stand for him acting like that". JJ opened the bedroom door and said, "it's been a long day I'm sure you must be exhausted".
Penelope said, "I am Jayje", Aaron said, "good night Penelope, Jennifer", she turned and said, "good night Aaron, Jennifer said, "good night Aaron", he then turned around and headed toward Emilys quarters. Jennifer said, "I need to get you ready for bed Penelope", Penelope said, "I'm a big girl and I can get myself ready for bed tonight".
JJ said, "are you sure"?, she said, "of course I am, I know that you want to spend some time with Spencer, you've been away from him all day", she grinned and said,
"I have missed him". Penelope said, "go and spend some time with your love and I'll see you in the morning", JJ looked at her and said, "something's different about you".
Penelope said, "different, different about me"?, she said, "yes, you've been smiling since Derek brought you back, is there something that you want to tell me"?, she thought for a minute and said, "not that I can think of Jayje". JJ looked at Penelope and said, "you know that you can tell me anything, right"?, she said, "I know that Jennifer".
JJ said, "are you sure that you don't want me to help you get undressed"?, she reached for the neck of Penelopes dress and she said, "NO", JJ said, "alright now I know that something's wrong". Penelope said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you", JJ said, "alright I'll let you get ready for bed on your own but if you need me for anything please just ring the bell".
Penelope hugged her friend and said, "thank you for everything Jayje", JJ smiled and said, "you are very welcome", Penelope then watched as her friend turned around and headed out of the room, making sure to close the door behind her. Penelope walked over and picked up her night clothes and quickly changed, she then headed over to the window and smiled as she pushed her door open and inhaled the fragrant flowers.
She sat down on her windowseat and smiled as she reached down and touched the necklace that she had managed to keep hidden from everybody, she pulled it out from under her gown and kissed it and whispered, "I love you my husband". She looked down at the wedding band and smiled and said, "now nobody can keep us apart, not even my father".
As she looked out over the grounds she couldn't help but wonder what her husband was doing, she grinned and said, "my husband, I love the sound of that, my handsome husband Derek Morgan". She closed her eyes and said, "good night Derek, sleep tight and I'll be with you again soon", she then stood up and closed her window and turned around and headed back over to her bed.
She toed off her shoes and climbed into bed and pulled the covers up on herself and snuggled under the covers smiling happily, she then rolled over onto her side and closed her eyes and tried to sleep. Her eyes popped open when she said, "what will father do if he finds out that I married Derek"?, she bit down on her lip and said,
"are Aaron and Jayje right, will father send me away and kill Derek"?, she shook her head and said, "nooooo, he wouldn't do that, not to me his only daughter".
Penelope sighed as she looked up at the ceiling, she said, "I guess my marriage will have to stay a secret, especially from my father, I would love to be able to tell Jayje and the others but I can't risk getting them in trouble". She tossed and turned for what seemed like hours before she finally started to calm down, once again she kissed the wedding bank and smiled before tucking it back under her gown.
As she closed her eyes and started drifting off to sleep memories of the day filled her mind once again
